To The OrOakerS.

For the last ten days OF so, when
there has been no sign of rain in the
heavens, and the hot south winds have
swept over the land with an unpleas-
ant breath, you have drawn your faces
down until they looked as dismal as
they possibly could look and in grave
yard tones you have growled out your
predictions. You have made your
selves, and as many others around
you as would pay any attention to you,
miserable, and you have caused to go
out among strangers an impression
that the crops of Barton county are a
total failure.
Out upon you and your grumblings!
Go out into some corn-tield, and there
amidst the rank vegetation kick your

They Are Bound To Come.

Our level headed real estate men are
about right when they say that, not
withstanding our short corn and wheat
crop this year, there will be thousands
of land buyers in Kansas this fall.
Our lands are the best, and taking the
years one after another, the surest to
produce crops of any state in the Un-
ion. The Kansas State Real Estate
Journal makes good argument when it
says:
''The value of land must increase as
the demand for it increases. This is
but natural. 1t does not require an
extra clear head to understand that the
population is increasing rapidly. 1t
does not require great foresight to re-
alize that the vast public domains
heretofore known as government lands
homes must be bought from parties
to whom the land is decided. 1t re-
quires even less effort to know that
with the increase of population, the
large demand for farm produce, the
profit of farming and stock raising in
creases and makes land a marketable
commodity. Summing it all up the
case is plain. Land must become valu-
able in all choice portions of the
United States, and where it is cheapest
will be the greatest influx and rush of
trade. Nowhere will this be more OBJ
servable than in Kansas

EXCHANGE GLEANINGS.

The money market is loosening up
in the east, and business everywhere
throughout the country is in elegant
shape. So is everything in Kansas.
1t is rumored that New Mexico
will seek admission as State at the
next session of Congress, and will ask
to come in with all of Texas west of
the Pecos added to it.
The man who allows his wife TO in
veigle him into the mysteries of the
milliner's establishment is none better
than he who seeketh to pound sand
into rat-hOle.
The Kalamazoo gas.well struck a
deposit of remarkably pure clay sixty
feet thick. This moulded and burned
would, it is claimed by experts, pro-
duce a cherry-red brick superior to
the famous Philadelphia pressed
brick. 1t is down $50 feet below the
surface.
There isn't newspaper in Kansas
but has at least one caller day who
wants to look over an exchange from
some town or other who wants to
"see who the prominent business men
are" Yet some people say that no.
body ever reads an advertisement.

self into a good humor, or gather a
good sized roasting ear and choke your
self to death by ramming it down your
thorax. There is no room for such as
you in this great land of ours as long
as you have not sufficient sand to stand
few days of hot wind which is only a
forerunner of the roasting which is
prepared for you in another world.
You had better perform the choking
act and go at once to that Gland that
is hotter than this,'' or else stand on
your head in some of the many ponds
of water on our streets which the

Fire at Larned.

Sunday forenoon a fire was started
in Larned that bid fair to do a con-
siderable amount of damage. The
large barn near the Santa Fe depot,
which was filed with baled hay, in
some manner got on fire, and but for
the prompt action and heroic work of
the hose companies, the entire busi-
ness portion would probably have
been burned. 1t was thought at one
time that the opera house and the en-
tire block would go. By the prompt
action of the fire companies and the
successful manner in which the water
works were manipulated, the tOxn
was probably saved eAopgh to. pay for
the waterwsSks aaA the maintenance

Corn Crop in Kansas.

Estimates made month ago as to
the corn crop in this state will have
to be revised. The acreage was
largely increased, at least % per
cent. over last year, and most of the
increase is in the newer counties west.
But there have been unfavorable in
fuences in localities, and they have
operated to lesson the average weld
materially. It is too soon yet to esti-
mate accurately. Our reports, Sep
tember 1, will afford reliable data.
the crop will then be made, and we
can know just what it is.
Reports are varying and cannot be
safely accepted rs accurate now, be-
cause farmers are very busy, not get
ting about much over large territory
and weather has not been regular, SO
that within short distances different
conditions exist. In one neighbor-
hood, or in one township, everything
may look well, while in the next it
may look different. A report from
either locality would not give a fair
statement as to the whole region. We
must wait a few weeks for complete
returns.
1t is interesting, however, in the
meantime, to learn that the prospect
is regarded as good for fair average
of corn per acre, and that with the
increased acreage, the aggregate yield
will be much above that of any
former year. The Kansas Farmers
Insurance company publish reports
from fOrty>one counties, many of
them showing that corn is matured.
The reports are i'll response to special
inquiries. Most of those received up
to date of publication are from the
eastern counties, and they indicate
that the yield will exceed the aver
age. Our own advices are to the eff.
feet that in some places the yield will
be enormous, in other fair, and in a
few particular localities of small area,
the crop will be very light. On the
whole, we expect an average corn
harvest.-Kansas Farmer.

THE health of our people is exceed

would be the making of a large manu-

would therefore be of incalculable
value to us. The outlay will be small

a subject has been brought before
our notice by the extract we give be-
low, which has been given considerable
attention. by many educators of
practical turn. We believe the
sentiments of General Walker are
good and will be endorsed by our
teachers. The extract reads that Gen
eral Francis y. Walker in Boston re-
Gently stood up and attacked the mod
ern method of teaching arithmetic in
public schools i'll a way to do our
hearts good. He says the old fash
iOned facility and accuracy in cipher
ing have been largely sacrificed to the
numerous technical applications and
difficult logical puzzles that have been
introduced into the study of arithme-
tic. Children he says, leave the
schools i'll prepared to foot up columns
of figures, though able to work out
useless puzzles He condemns all
this unQualifiedly and holds up the
modern arithmetic as "a bastard arith-
metic, which fails to perform the true
functions of that study in our public
schools, namely, to produce accuracy
and reasonable degree of facility i'll
numerical operations, while wasting
the time OF the pupils, perpleXing their
minds, worrying their tempers, rasp-
ing their nerves, and, in case of total
or partial failure, unnecessarily and
unrighteously shocking and impairing
their self-respect and scholarly ambi-
ton General Walker will please ac-
cept thanks all around. Think of
arithmetics with impossible problems
in them, which keep the children awake
half the night because they can't work
them Out!''

Elimination by cutting his wheat by

greeted with the hum of the harvest
ers in the large wheatfeld adjacent
TO the burning well. Two self bind
ers were in operation, followed by the
requisite number of men gathering
the sheaves and putting them in shock.
The light was sufficient to enable the
harvesting to be done as successfully
as in midday, and the workmen ap-
preciated the rare privilege of gath
ering the grain without the sun ac-

they live together until the girl is 10

old and four times as old as the girl;
and they live until she is Is, the man
being As, when he is but three times

live until she is 80 years old,
